Ways to "reset" raw_input

[Gareth Roberts]

Is there any way of "reseting" the raw_input so it is able to =a rather than =x and is there anything else that is wrong with it ?:P Im using python 2.7.2

x = raw_input ("enter name here: ")
print "hello " +x
print "how are you? Good or bad?"

a=raw_input 

if a == "good":
    print "awesome!"
elif a== "bad":
    print "oh no"


print " why you " + a +"?"

raw_input("press <enter>")

Line number 5 needs parentheses after raw_input for the function call.
